Paul Dixon spent a long time drafting up the Treaty itself.


And as Aunty Lyn Syme says, there were four or five drafts before everyone was happy with what she calls "a living document".

There are 24 points in the Treaty, a number of which detail the Dixon family's pledges to the Dabee people.

Paul says the more he researched, the more people he met, the more he learned - the more he knew that he couldn't "wait for the government" any longer.
